It is very certain that the result of the election in this State cannot be regarded as a 'triumph for tho general administration. The same may be said with equal truth of the result in Ohio. Iu Pennsylvania Grant's majority was 28,898 Geary's niaj irity over Packer does not foot up one-sixth of that uum' er, as is Indicated by the official returns just published. In Ohio Gen. Grant's major- ity was 40,017, and now Hayes, radical, is j re-eiecteu uoveruor Dy oniy aooui b.uuu.- These figures do not prove that the demo cratic party is either dead or dying, but, on the contrary, thut it possesses indomitable neigy and a determined will. A party which in one year after defeat, shows such elasticity may indulge in a reasonable pride in its strength, and fee! a certain confidence in its ultimate success. Like the immoital Old Guard" of Napoleon, it will never sur render. That many of the leading radical organs do not regard the result of the election in this State as a triumph, but as a virtual de feat, is quite apparent from their comments thereon. The Philadelphia Telegraph speaks in the following hopeless strain in regard to the result: "It U a discouraging fact, too, that in near ly evry county in the State, outside of Phila (itlphia, the vole for Geary falls iar behind that polld for Llartranft in 1SG8. A dreary succession of Republican looses is reported, and the preliminary returns indicate that Uea iy'a whole majority in the State will not ex ceed the Republican gain effected in Philadel phia alone, over the vote polled in October, ltfGS. We may well exclaim with the ancient lieneral.

The same paper pays its respects to the tucccibful candidate in tho follow ing pointed but none the less truthful criticism : "It was sheer madness to lisk unnecessary dangers in the campaign which has just closed. Geary's unfitness tor the Governorship was as painfully evident as his uuuvailubility as a can didate ; and while the Commonwealth abound ed with men endowed with capacities inflinitely superior to those which he possesses, scarcely any man could have been nominated who would have polled a smaller vote. Ttie only cause we have for regret iu connection ith our course in reference to his nomination is that our oppo sition was ineffectual ; and, while we earnestly rejoice in the triumph ot the Republican party, we are sorry that its honors hav not fallen up on a more able as well as mote pop ilar Exec utive." The Philadelphia Inquirer observes on the election statistics : Judging from the stfjns indicated by the elec tion, the only doubt that could be maintained in referenco to the matter, might be as to the feeliug8 and opinions of the IH.uOO persons who refused, on the present occasion, to go to the olli. They were either negligent or dissatis fied. If the former was the case, no prognos tication can be made as to what the may do hnreaftcr. Banner Counties, We do not intend to make invidious com parisons in reference to the result of the dem ocratic vote at the recent election in any one county at the expense of another. We can not refrain, however, from referring in an especial manner to Allegheny county. List November Grant bad a majority of 10,816 in that strong republican county. At the lart election Geary had only 4.557, or a lit-, tie more than one half oi the republican ma jority given less than one j'ear previously. This result ought to command the respect as well as the gratitude of the democracy of the entire State.

The radical return judges of the election in Philadelphia have once more perpetrated their seats. We refer our readers to an article in an other column, from the Evening Telegraph of that city, on this subject. It is high re publican authority. We fortify and strength en it with the following editorial article from that intensely radical sheet, the Philadelphia Post. IIow true it is in politics that God made the country and man made the town. "It is charged that Republican r? seals have in two cases committed the crime the Registry law was intended to prevent. In the Thirteenth Legislative district it is said that the certificates of the vote in the KinUi division of the Seven teenth ward was stolen and altered so that Mr. Cei-z, the Republican candidate, might iiavca ninjority in the district. In the First Senator ial district it is also said that cheating was used I l rdtlim KTl Wfttf 1 omit il ifc n lnolajt .if f Diamond. This district embraces seven wards in the lower part oF the city, including the First and the Twenty-sixth. It is a singular fact that Mr. Watt's majority in these wards vastly exceeds that of Mr. Ashtou, who leads the Re public in majority everywhere. In these wards alone his joint ninjority over Mr. Asbtou is It is alleged by Mr. Hirst, who appeared before the Court of 'Common Pleas, that this majority was secured by cutting dov n Mr. Dia mond's vote two hundred in the Twenty sixth ward. By such swindling, it in said, a in.ij.ni ty of 17b' was given to Mi. Watt in the whole Senatorial district. Now let us see who had the majority in the Feveu wards composing this district, on the vote for Clerk of Quarter Ses sions : If AJjBITJBS. ASHTO.V. I FELl-rES. First ward 7f6 1 Second ward.

Sellers' raaioritr 2SI "Thus we find tho Democratic majoritT in the wards of the First Senatorial district to be 281, and yet on the vote for Senator the Re publican majority id said to be 176. To us the discrepancy looks bad. "We cannot afford to let the Republican par ty bear the odium of the swindling it is pledged to prevent. It would be better to let Demo cratic rascals go unpunished than to let our own escape. If it be proved that the vote in the First Senatorial district has been tampered with to defeat Mr. Diamond, and the guilty nrties can be discovered, they should suffer the extreme penalty of the law." Pershing at Home, It is very gratifying to announce that where Cyrus L. Pershing is well known and appreciated he has been generously sustained. In the borough of Johnstown, where he re sides, Grant received 706 votes and Seymour 328, giving Grant a majority of 378. In. the same borough Williams received 583 votes and Pershing 372 votes, thus giving Wil liams a majority of 211, showing a gain for Mr. Pershing in that borough of 1G7 votes. Ia the southern districts of the county, in cluding Johnstown, Grant had 1G88 votes and Seymour 1359. showing Grant's major ity to have been 329. In the same districts Williams had 1372 votes and Pershing 1257, being a majority for Williams of 115 and a gain for Pershing over last November's elec tion of 214. His majority in the county is 802 agaiust 650 for Packer. The above figures conclusively show that the people among whom Mr. Perilling re sides, treated with sovereign contempt the weekly insinuations of tho Johnstown Tri bune against bis reputation and standing as a lawyer. Although Mr. Pershing has been defeated, he has reason to feel proud of the support he received from his own neighbors as well as from the voters of his own county. The editor of the Johnstown Tribune.'in his last paper, rej icing ever Geary's elec tion, stigmatized Asa Packer as "the Connec ticut carpet-bagger tcho would not pay hit tares." The man who asserts that Asa Packer ever refused to pay his taxes, 'u either a fool or a knave, or perhaps both. And what would the Tribune man say if this pa per were to refer to his friends Daniel J. Morrell and A. A. Barker as carpet-baggers from Maine? We would scorn to do so Both these gentlemen are useful citizens of our county, just as Mr. Packer has always . e . .. ...

The public schools throughout the county generally are now opening for the annual term. By the first of November perhaps fully nine-tenths of all our district schools will be in operation. In view of this fact, we beg totay a few words : 1. Parents should patronize the sdiools. The'ol jrct of the common school economy is to put the means of instruction in the com mon and most necessary branches of learn ing within the reach of all. To this end all are taxed alike : those who have children to be educated and those who have none. The justness of this system is a question which does not at all enter into our subject, though it cannot be successfully. -disputed. Suffice it to say that the syttem has been establish ed, and for . more thaw the third part of a century that it has been in operation, it has met with the support and sympathy of the public. Yet many parents do not take ad vantage of the schools thm provided. Iu many cases where parents are sufficiently well off in this world's goods to do so, their children are sent to private schools of differ ent kinds. This is all right enough. Pa rents have, and it is to be hoped they always will have, the privilege of educating their offspring where they please ; but the persons to whom we allude are those who never fend their children to any school, either public or private. We doubt,, and we believe that every in telligent man doubts, the moral right of any parent to allow his children to grow up with out some education. We think the duty of educating his child properly and as far as he is able to do so, rests upon every parent. It is a duty which he owes to himself, his child, his conntry, and his God. While we do not claim that an intellectual education is alone sufficient, yet we do claim that there is in it "a savor of life." We deny that an educa tion of the head alone makes men scoundrels and sharpers ; and where the enemies of such education point to one Eugene Aram or Pro fessor Webster, we can poifit to a thousand uneducated, brutish "Bowerv Boys" and "Dead Rabbits." Perhaps not over three-fourths of the chil dren of school-age of Pennsylvania are en rolled upon the books of any institution of learning, either public or private. And of those who are enrolled, at leatt we can safely speak of those who are enrolled upon the bi&ok of our common Bchools, the atten dance of many is merely nominal. Lt us take our own county as an example: For the school 3ear .1807,, the per cent, of at tendance at our public schools .was 60; for 1808, it was C8. Here it is true was a gain of 8 per cent., which would be gratifying Indeed were it not conpled with the fact that there was a falling off in the latter year of 338 pupils from the year before. It cannot be that there were fewer children in the conuty in 1808 than in 1867. The solution of the difficulty may be that the 338 nou reportera were of thote who the year before came to school just often enough to keep their names upon the monthly reports and reduce the per cent, of attendance to a little over one-half. Every teacher kcows that in every district just such pupils are found ; and, so far as the interests of ti e school are concerned, they are better absent than pre sent. 2. Parents should patronize the schools note. The term in nearly all our rural districts is but four months. It is impossi ble at present to make the term longer. Hence, if parents wish to have all tho bene fits of the schools, they should enter their children at the beginning of the term. Pu pils who do not enter until the schools have been sometime in operation, rest under a disadvantage throughout the whole term. The time they have lost they cannot make" up. The lessons which were learned before they entered, they must either omit, get over them hurriedly and but partially, or remain in the background all winter. The term is too short to lose any part of it. We earn estly hope that every parent will try to have his children at school this winter, have them there at the start, and keep them there as regularly as possible. It will not cost any more. In fact, it wil! cost less. We make that appear in this way : The expense of teaching each scholar was last year just 82 cents per month. If instead of C8 per cent, attendance there had been 100 per cent., the total expense would have been the same; but the cost of each would have been only about 56 cents per month. S that we see by sending our chil dren to school promptly and regularly, we can have tbem all taught at a much less per capita rate than if we send only a part of them, or send them only part of the time, while the children themselves will be reap ing the full benefits of our common school system. T. J. C. Another Surprise. Another political surprise has been inflict ed on the country by the appointment by Grant of William W. Belknap as Secretary of War. He is said to be a resident of Keo kuk, in Iowa, and is now collector of inter nal revenue for the Firs: Iowa District, We will not say that be is not a proper man for the position, for the reason that he is so ob scure and so utterly unknown to the country, that no opinion can be expressed as to hiB fitness for the place. As Grant's Cabinet is the weakest that the country has yet known, it may be safe to affirm that Belknap will not add much to its strength in an intellec tual point of view. His unexpected ap pointment is a second edition of the itifiictiou of Borie and Robeson. But then the "second Washington" must have his own way, even though his way is inscrutable and not to be understood. The Philadelphia Press, in referring to the appointment of Belknap, manifests its sur- i prise and says: "Ilo has had no experience in legislative ifJice, nor in any official posi tion calculate i to give evidence of his fitness for a place in the Cabinet." Ilia appoint ment was made on the day after the Penn sylvania election. What has become of the "Cameron Clan" and of General Kanej of the "Bucktail Regiment"? What shadows we are and what shadows we pursue. Dkmorfst's Monthly This and a sew ing machine is beginning to be considered indkpensable by young housekeepers and ladies generally ; but the Monthly must be had, whether the sewing machine is or not. One of the great things iu its favor is, that the gentlemen like it. They find it sensible instead of frivolous, full oi practical infor mation and useful ideas, which save young. and inexperienced wives and mothers any amount of trouble and expense. The illus trations and patterns, the music and other departments, are each 'worth the cost, and we advise husbands who want to do a really good thing for their wives, themselves, and the family nenerally, to send $3.00 to 8G8 Broadway, N. Y., immediately. Clectlon Frauds In Philadelphia. The following is from the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, a radical journal : The Row at the Meeting of Return Judges. The scene at the meeting of the return judges yesterday was exceedingly dis graceful. Desperate Philadelphia politicians have unfortunately acquired a reputation for doctoring up returns which is only too well deserved. Not satisfied with cheering at the polls and manipulating the first count of votes, they sometimes resort to the still more infamons device of distorting or falsifying what should be deemed a sacred record of public opinion. The rascals of this stripe are not all confined to the democratic party, for some skilful adepts cling to the skirts of the republican organization, and they are ready, when occasion requires, for achieve ments in political arithmetic which would even add new laurels to the famous statisti cian of the New Xol World. It U alleged that yesterday two such frauds were perpe trated, cne affecting the retult in the. Thir teenth Legislative District, and electing a republican iustead of a democrat by a forged return, and the other electing Watt, a re publican Senator, Instead of Diamond, a democrat, by a false or imperfect statement of the votes cast in the Senatorial district. The parties guilty of these falsifications of the records cannot be too severely punished. Their crime should be made a penitentiary offense. Instead of being petted and reward ed by leading partisans for their wickedness, they should be not only forever disfranchised but treated as the lowest aud most danger ous class of villains. The democrats were naturally indignant at the rumors of the attempted frauds, and properly appealed to the court of common pleas to prevent their consummation. Judge Allison promptly issued a writ sus pending proceedings until the whole matter could be judiciously investigated. The depu ty sheriff who served the writ, however, acted, more in the spirit of a partisan than an emissary of the law. He obtained his first entrauce to the room iu which the re turn judges were in session under circum stances well calculated to inspire a doubt of the genuine character of his writ. The dooi-keepcrs allege that be falsely claimed to be a roturn judge, and, once there, the reporters . allege that he triumphantly ex claimed that he had a writ from the Supreme Court, which was not then in session. The conclusion was hastily drawn from this mis statement that he had no business in the room, and he was summarily- ejected under the belief that he was an unauthorized in truder. Reinforced by a new order from the court and by the aid f a host of stalwart policemeD, he returned to the charge, effect ed a forcible entrauce. aud the uolicemen not only arrested the door-keepern who had per- , formed what they believed to be their duty, but shamefully maltreated one of the mnt unoffending ef reporters. The whole diffi culty arose from the indiscreet manner in which the first attempt to serve the writ of the court was made ; and the evil results of this blunder were intensified by the super serviceable zeal of the policemen in assault ing men who were, of all piesent, most in nocent of wrong-doing of any description. Subsequently the ditpvted points were con sidered by the court, and its directions were followed, but as various questions were raised which can only be legitimately decided by the legislature, the certificates of election were given to the parties who would have , received them if no appeal to a judicial tri- ! bunal had been made, and it remains fur the State Stnate to dispose of the claims of Watt and Diamond, with the former as the sitting member, find for the Assembly to decide be tween Geir-z, Mullen and Forsyt he, with the former as the holder of the certificate of elec tion. We tru.-t that exact justice will be done at Harrisbnrg, without partisan predi lections, as the the republicans of Philadel phia will lose infinitely more than they will gain by endorsing official pretensions based on fraud, and a just decision bhould be promptly made. The whole transastion brings into promi nence the readiness of a certain class of des perate partisans to peril their salvation for a rleeting acd despicable triumph, while it dis plays a wonderfully inefficient and rude method of enforcing the law by a deputy sheriff and the policemen.. It is evident that among the many other things needed to improve tho municipal government, a su perior method of punishment of manipula tors of election returns should be devised; that the necessity of having a police force free from partisan influences constantly in creases ; and that it would be well if the wiits of the courts affecting election returns could be served by officeis appointed by the judges, instead of partisan sheriffs. Terrible Outrage hy a JVcgro---Thc Fiend Lynched. We find the following in the Alexandria Gazette of Tuesday evening : "Miss Dooly of Washington city, a beau tiful, intelligent and interesting young lady, who for some time past has been teaching school in Priuce George's county, Maryland, about a mile from Fort Washington, was met on the road yesterday morning, while walking from the house of Mrs. SchaafF, where the boarded, to her school -house, by a colored man who has a wife living iu this city, and knocked down, brutally outraged aud robbed. Her screams attracted the at tention of some gentlemen who were hunt ing in the vicinity, but who, when they reached the spot, found her in a totally un conscious condition, aud her ravisher gone. As may readily be imagined the news of ths outrage spread rapidly through the neigh borhood, and in a short time the adjoining country was being scoured by parties in pur suit of the villain, and towards nightfall he was caught near the scene of his crime, and taken to Piscataway, where he is now chain ed to another of his race who had been pre viously arrested on suspicion. Of his guilt there is, it is said, no doubt, for in his scufHe with the unfortunate young lady a cottou bandage was torn from his his hand, left on the ground, and found there afterwards by those who examined the locality. On Satur day last he had cut his hand with a scythe and having no rag convenient, he had torn off a piece of tho leg of his drawers and made a bandage of it, aud the rag found corresponds with the piece torn off. He lived with Mr. Adams, who farms a portion of Mr. Schaaffs land, and was driving an ox cart when he met Miss Dooly in the road, which, between the houses if Mrs. SchaafF and Captain Beasley, runs through a thick piece of woods, and perpetrated his fiendish crime by first knocking down his victim and then dragging her into the woods. This is the supposition for the young lady has not yet recovered her consciousness, and received such injuries that Dr. Dyer, tha attending physician is uncertain about her recovery. Her three brothers, who live in Washington, have been sent for, and it is said the punish ment usual in 6uch cases will be inflicted upon the criminal as soon as the necessary arrangements can be effected." By Tclegraph.J THE PKBPETRATOtt MONO. Washington, Oct. 13. The perpetrator of the above outrage was arrested on the same day, taken to Pi.-cataway, "where he was identified by the lady, a committal made out against hint for court, and in charge of Constable John Underwood and Anthony Anderson he was immediately started in a wagon for Marlboro', the county seat.
